Twelve of the 13 victims of a deadly wildfire that swept through Andalusia in southern Spain were foreign nationals, the authorities said on Tuesday after completing post-mortem examinations.
In a statement, officials said seven were from the United Kingdom, three from Belgium, and one each from France and the United States. The last victim was a Spanish citizen.
"The 13 people who died are eight women and five men, all adults," the public body responsible for identifying the victims added.
Fire broke out last Thursday in the picturesque southeastern province of Almeria, which is home to many foreign residents near the Mediterranean coast.
Flames fanned by high winds ripped through forests and scrubland made tinderbox dry by extreme high temperatures, turning picturesque rural settlements into ghost towns.
